Every time a student works through an eXeLearning resource activity, their results are stored as an attempt. The attempts report gives teachers a full view of this history: who attempted the activity, how many times, what they scored on each gradable iDevice, and when each attempt was submitted. Teachers can also delete individual attempts from this report, which triggers an automatic grade recalculation for that student.Documentation Index

Accessing the report
From the eXeLearning resource activity page, teachers see a participation summary banner — for example, “3 of 5 students have attempted this activity · average 72%”. Next to it is a View attempts report button that opens the full report. Accessing the report requires themod/exelearning:viewreport capability, which is granted by default to the Teacher and Manager roles. Students and guests cannot access the report.
If gradable iDevices were detected in the package, the activity page also shows a Gradable iDevices detected: banner listing each item by its label — useful for confirming that the gradebook columns match what you expect before looking at student data.
What the report shows
The report lists one row per student, attempt, and grade item. Each row contains:| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| User | The student’s name, linked to their Moodle profile |
| Attempt | The attempt number for that student (1 = first attempt, 2 = second, and so on) |
| Item | Which grade item the row refers to: Overall (the aggregated score, shown in Overall mode) or the label of a specific iDevice |
| Score | The raw score over the maximum for that item (e.g. 8.00 / 10.00) |
| Status | The state of the attempt: completed, passed, failed, or incomplete |
| Submitted | The timestamp when the attempt was last updated |
| Actions | A Delete attempt button (see below) |
Deleting attempts
Teachers with the delete capability can remove any individual attempt directly from the report.Click Delete attempt
Click the Delete attempt button in the Actions column on the student’s overall row. This removes the entire attempt — all its per-iDevice rows are deleted together.
Reviewing attempts as a student
Students can review their own attempt history directly on the activity page, depending on the Students may review attempts (reviewmode) setting configured by the teacher:
| Setting | What students see |
|---|---|
| Always (default) | A summary of all past attempts is shown on the activity page at all times |
| After the activity is complete | The summary appears only once the student has completed or passed the activity |
| Never | Past attempts are never shown to students |
Attempt limits
If Attempts allowed (maxattempt) is set to a non-zero value, students cannot start new attempts once the cap is reached. When a student has used all their attempts:
- The activity page shows the message “You have used all your allowed attempts for this activity.”
- Any submission sent after the limit is reached is rejected by the server with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) response — the over-limit submission is never written to the gradebook.
maxattempt to 0 (the default) to allow unlimited attempts. Teachers can delete an attempt from the report to free up a slot for a student who has reached the limit.
